sony to change UMD games for PSP GO downloads

as per title

IGN: E3 2009: Sony Will Offer UMD Solution

doesnt say specifically how they will do it so guess away!

i'm thinking put UMD in your "old" PSP, connect to PS3 via USB, maybe write in the barcode/game code for it then have the download link for the game!

Re: sony to change UMD games for PSP GO downloads

I was thinking about this too and i was wondering if it's down to the new Go software for the PC.

Connect the PSP, via USB to the PC and start the software as usual. Insert the UMD, which can read and maybe get a barcode or serial number then issue a code.

Saying that, it sounds too easy to abuse and plus, you then have 2 versions of the game.

Unless you have to post the UMD and they email you the code?

This is what happens when Sony decides to go for an entirely new format of something rather than embracing an existing one. UMD, MD, Memory Stick....
